[Bug 1938259] Re: Add ACCEL_LOCATION=base property for Dell clamshell models

[Yao Wei]

> For hirsute, what about existing users, should the patch retain the
old matches? Like this:

The old matches might match the same model name but with different form
factor, although we are already trying to avoid that confusion by
matching chassis type.

Also hirsute kernel is also going to backport the sku patch.

  Add ACCEL_LOCATION=base property for Dell clamshell models

Bug description:
  We are planning to do SRU to systemd in focal, to avoid unwanted
  screen rotations on some Dell laptop models.

  [Impact]

   * This fixes unwanted rotations on certain Dell clamshell laptop
  models with accelerometer.

  [Test Plan]

   * On Dell laptops with model SKU 0A3E or 0E0E, install this package and kernel 5.13, or kernel with this patch backported:
      https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=e26f023e01ef26b4138bc1099af309bdc4523d23
   * Rotate the laptop and the display should not be rotated.

  [Where problems could occur]

   * This is to add parameters for certain models in hwdb, and does not
  affect any other part of systemd.

   * This fix would only take effect with kernel 5.13 or the above patch
  backported.

  [scope]

  this is needed for all releases

  this is being fixed upstream by
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/20314

  [Other info]

   * The patch mentioned above is going to have a separated SRU for
  linux-oem-5.10 and linux-hwe-5.11 (LP: #1938143)
